It may be Donald Trump’s slogan, but Americans trust Hillary Clinton more when it comes to “making America great,” according to a new poll.

When asked which candidate would be best at achieving the goal of “making America great,” 33 percent of Americans in a new Associated Press-GfK poll chose Clinton, compared to 28 percent for Trump.

However, 30 percent said they didn’t trust either candidate to make the country great again.

Clinton topped Trump on a variety of other key issues, from healthcare to immigration to nominating Supreme Court justices. Clinton is more trusted on the economy, for example, by 38 percent of Americans, compared to 35 percent for Trump.

Clinton’s largest advantage over Trump involves dealing with gender equality issues, 55-12 percent.

Just 15 percent of Americans say Trump represents their views very well, and 14 percent say somewhat well.

The poll of 1,076 U.S. adults was conducted March 31-April 4 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
